On Facebook<\/em>, John Ringo<\/a> explains why the Boy Scouts of America is opening its membership to girls:<\/p>\n

The Boy Scouts will now admit girls.<\/p>\n

One of the main (mostly angry) responses (mostly by women) is ‘Why is this necessary?’<\/p>\n

They apparently are either blind or haven’t kept up with changes in the Girl Scouts.<\/p>\n

Girl Scouts have eliminated almost all training and badges for ‘outdoorsy’ or essentially anything ‘unsafe’ (like, say, rafting.) No training in how to build a fire unless it’s already in a fire pit. (No training on how to build such a pit.) No training in, well, scouting, tracking, etc. They’ve basically cut everything ‘Scout’ about Girl Scouts and they’re now a full-on SJW front coupled with a fundraising group. God forbid you don’t make your cookie quota. ‘You want to hike? Hike your neighborhood and SELL MORE COOKIES!’<\/p>\n

So the BSA basically felt so sorry for them they’re letting GRRRLS with COOTIES into the BSA! IKKY COOTIE GIRLS!<\/p>\n

Both groups also have had a big fall-off in membership of late. So the Girl Scouts are flaming angry about it all. ‘How dare they steal our precious cookie tram… I mean precious girls?’<\/p>\n

I’m guessing there’s going to be a big boost in Boy Scouts, though.<\/p>\n

‘Fuck, yeah, dude! Woot! THERE’S GIRLS! Scouting just got AWESOME!’<\/p>\n

‘Do they get to keep the skirts? Do they? Please tell me they’re keeping the skirts…’
